about this piece:

roses and daises and is about gardening (surprise!). In the summer of 2017, I spent time working various in gardens and met with refugees and indigenous groups. I was able to experience how gardening/farming had impacted their cultures and religions. I found myself filling with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after my time in the gardens. This pieces is about putting in the work and leaving with something bigger than yourself.

Text:

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that
recedes;

I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.

-Sara Teasdale
